friends, i am very proud to announce that i have completed my first knit of the season! it just so happens to be my very first hat- not just your average dish cloth or scarf! woo hoo!
thanks to our weekly stitch n' bitch group & the encouragement of a dear friend, i decided to pick up my circular knitting needles & give knitting in the round a shot, despite my left-handed knitting fails of the past.
meet paprika, the first born hat of many hat babies to come.

for the pattern, i used sweet multicrafty's free pattern, "weekend head warmer." it took me about four hours to knit this baby up, but if you're a skilled knitter unlike myself, it should take much less time.
do let me know if you try knitting this hat!
love,
natalie
p.s. i admire all of the knitting bloggers out there for their perfect knitting photos. the photos were harder than the knitting!

Beautiful! You did a great job. What stitch n' bitch group do you do? I get an FB invite for one every week but the one time I tried to go no one else did! haha I'd love to come knit with you :)
erin, it's a very informal group that just started so i'm sure it's not the one you're talking about. i'll let you know about the next meeting when i hear more details!
it looks beautiful and cosy, and the colour suits you perfectly :)
Super cute! Love the pattern! Way to go, lady!
I think these pictures are great! You're so cute! Lovely.
You look gorgeous in these photos! And your hat looks beautiful, too! I'm so proud of you.
i love this! this hat is so pretty. i started knitting hats last winter and i'm so excited for knitting season again. i will definitely try this pattern soon!
What a lovely hat! Congratulations. :) That color is beautiful on you!
This hat is so cute! I don't think I've ever commented before, but I've been reading for a year or so. Just wanted to say that I find your posts refreshing and inspiring. They remind me to take a deep breath and refocus on what is important. Thank you :)
